Luminarium levity II, a photo from Geneva, West

Photographer's Note

I took my children this afternoon to this exhibition . I was rather sceptical before going in, but soon discovered an amazing sort of extraterrestrial playground for children as well as grown ups. Finally wandered around for almost an hour, feeling like floating in another dimension. Interesting concept and an alternative way to relax for some minutes.

Looks like the sort of place my 6 year old daughter and 3 year old son would love! What a fantastic looking place and well captured. Love the contrast in colours between the red and green and the child adds a nice focal point. Well done.

Salut Gal
Superbe cette immage, un graphisme superbe, sans parler du cadrage, une superbe image.
@+ Toni

mrcrow (3993) 2005-10-09 16:05

this is a unique shot...not really the world yet part of the world..
the pattern and design of this exhibition lend itself well to your composition...and the colours..the infamous red and green work well with the overtone of surreal lighting and effect..
that little lad is a real model
cheers

It's great to have kids in this age, Gal, it helps you to discover many places that you might miss as an adult..
A great one, very dynamic image thanks to the spiral red line. Beautiful light, too.

AmiBe (6042) 2005-10-09 16:20

Hello Gal,
cette expo est un r嶲al pour les photographes, je viens de voir une image de Cessy de cet endroit.
Le cadrage, les teintes, la lumi鋨e => c'est superbe !
On dirait des toiles d'araign嶪s g嶧ntes les traits noirs.
Bien vu

cleocat (221) 2005-10-09 16:30

Right out of a science-fi movie. Nice POV with the child. Adds some reality. Looks like a great place for kids. Well done!!

oochappan (4880) 2005-10-09 16:30

Hi Gal
A nice geen grdiant coloring with this red circle as a perfect framing to see this younh man, the repetition red and the linings in the background brings the scene more alive.

mlopes (494) 2005-10-09 16:49

Ola Gal,
Isto � o que parece ser uma agradavel surpresa, de ceptico a adepto em alguns minutos? � porque a exposi蓷o deve ser de facto muito interessante. A avaliar pela tua foto � mesmo. Gosto do ambiente extraterrestre ainda por cima acentuado com essa cor verde.
Mario

maciekda (19895) 2005-10-09 16:58

very nice image Gal, completely surreal, a scene like from a sci-fi movie and the boy is like from another story... fantastic colors, very good quality. good stuff

Luko (14000) 2005-10-09 17:11

Oui, tr鋊 bien fait, exposition aux petits oignons et composition qui va bien avec, tu as bien su mettre en valeur l'architecture des lieux, pendant ce temps ton fils dans la matrice se demande "par o� c'est la sortie?"... de toutes fa蔞ns, moi du moment qu'il y a du vert...

Simon y voit 2001... moi, plus prosaiquement et si permets cette mauvaise comparaison : Woody Allen dans "tout ce que vous avez toujours voulu savoir...". On s'attend � te voir passer en coup de vent avec une combinaison blanche et une longue queue...

alimo3 (6854) 2005-10-09 17:12

Bonsoir Gal,
Une tres belle image,
Le graphisme et la composition sont 彋onnants.
J𠿟ime la dominante verte et ce gamin qui semble perdu et nous donne une impression d𨬓space.
Bravo.

Tom

designsoul (17843) 2005-10-09 18:00

How magical, otherworldly, being syphooned into the depth of this green space crusted with red calligraphic lines, like into an inverted watermelon. Gal, this is a fantastic shot with an angle that could not be more CALLIGRAPHIC itself, so aesthetic and playful, so harmonious and unique. The capture of the little child (yours?) gives us a measure of it all... I wish I had gone to the exhibit myself... magical!
Sarolta

joni (896) 2005-10-09 18:01

i like your compo very much. The color is not very aggresive and the child brings life to the still.
Keep on track
Marcin

Porteplume (4036) 2005-10-09 18:17

M瘱e si le vert nous saute aux yeux, tout me parait parfait dans cette image. L'impeccable nettet�, le cadrage bien pens�, l'id嶪 bien s壜. Elle est tout simplement fascinante...

Comme toujours avec vos photos, Gal, apr鋊 avoir savour� votre cr嶧tivit�, on passe un bon moment � lire les commentaires de quelques uns de nos meilleurs critiqueurs, et bien s壜 l'humour de Luko est impayable! [Heureusement!] - Alors merci pour vos belles images et pour les r嶧ctions qu'elles provoquent.

hispic (9658) 2005-10-09 19:18

Salut Gal,
Great composition and colours! The child was placed in the best point. also nice perspective.
Hisashi

bpelvan (3798) 2005-10-09 20:11

Hello Gal,
This is really something different. It's an another world. Very well photographed. Good capture of this interesting environment. The colors are astonishing really.
Good job and thanks for sharing...
Bulent

Homerhomer (4080) 2005-10-09 22:14

Your best shot since "that's all folks". Truly amazing, you do very well with strong and simple colours, including the child makes the image alive, and makes it truly yours, and not just you copying what the designers had in mind.
This image is another argument why we should be allowed to take images at museums and exhibitions.
Peter
PS, this time I won't try to translate what Luko and others had to say in french, am sure you will appreciate that;-)

cessy (13647) 2005-10-09 23:29

very nice picture of this place, Gal
excellent angle and composition
I saw these two men (I put in your WS), ... is it you ? maybe not :)

dolin (7369) 2005-10-10 2:45

Salut Gal.
Du tout grand art ce que tu nous proposes l� !
Cette dominante verte avec ces touches de rouge-bordeau....olala c'est splendide.
Un cadrage au poil et cette courbe rouge en premier plan donne un magnifique effet.
Le petit mec donne 憝idemment la touche deffinitive.
Belle PDC et superbe lumi鋨e.
BRAVO....tout droit ds mes favoris.
Fred

Furachan (0) 2005-10-10 3:24

Une tres, tres grande reussite, Gal, autant sur le plan technique (poas evident du tout) qu'artistique. Ca pete l'atmosphere extra-terrestrienne...on ressent la joie at peu-etre un peu l'epouvante, n'est-ce pas de ces petits.
Merci pour nous avoir invites...
Amicalement,
Francis

jinju (14265) 2005-10-10 3:29

Ok, into my favorites. I love the green! Its so enveloping. The curves of the structure are very organic, like some membrane of vegetation. And green is the color of life. Theres a certain weird science fiction mood here Gal. Is this the inside of some large monster?:)

ishai (4097) 2005-10-10 3:33

Hi Gal
What a great place and all the possibilities for amazing pictures
The boy in this green space with all the tunnels, wow what goes through his head at that moment
Beautiful perspective and with this red line its just perfect

Well composed and presented

I hope there is more
Ishai

jbweasle (9393) 2005-10-10 3:35

Gal, a brilliantly composed photo. I love the curves and circles, expecially the big red arc that frames the rest of the shot. Great colours too. The child adds a point of focus and gives scale.

vbourrut (32482) 2005-10-10 3:46

Une image que l'on croirait sorti d'un film de science fiction ! tr鋊 bonne composition et gestion de la lumi鋨e ! seul petit reproche pour chipoter un peu, l'enfant est peut 皻re plac� un peu trop au centre sur le plan vertical, mais c'est un d彋ail

Amiti廥,
Vincent

PixelTerror (0) 2005-10-10 4:09

Salut Gal,
Tiens tiens ca a l'air d'etre l'endroit a la mode cette exposition, tu n'y as pas croise Cessy ??? Les teintes ne sont pas les memes que sur sa photo, mais avec les formes ici aussi ca retransmet un bizarre univers psychedelique, d'ailleurs cet enfant a l'air un peu perdu dans ce monde parallele !
350D+10-22, c'est une jolie combinaison, ca ;-))
Bonne journee,
Jean-Yves

pady (4800) 2005-10-10 4:22

C'est une magnifique image tr鋊 bien compos嶪. Ce m幨ange des deux couleurs vert-rouge offre un 廦uilibre visuel tr鋊 apaisant. Bravo pour le coup d'oeil.

falves (1405) 2005-10-10 5:55

Hi Gal,
Not exactly what I expected from you. But hey.....It's superbe.
Wonderful colors. Nice lines in the ceilling. The little boy in the "crossroad" is great. I wonder if he's filling lost or just wants to explore and discover.
Nice POV, with an interesting transition from the dark zone to the bright area.
Always in the front.
Aquele Abra誽o
Fred

naxius (16685) 2005-10-10 7:11

Wow! J'adore ce type d'expo, tr鋊 moderne et futuriste..Tu y trouves pleins d'opportunit� pour faire de bons shoots comme celui-ci.
Une photo r徼ssie Gal, une des meilleure que tu aies pr廥ent嶪s.
Tout comme Simon ca me fait penser � 2001 mais il manque un peu de blanc..
Alex

stefi (1230) 2005-10-10 7:35

Superbe! Great combination of colors (gree-orange red), composition, POV and great great moment captured with the child that seems asking himself "where I have to go?".
Into my favorites,

Ciao
Stefano

fixed (3836) 2005-10-10 8:55

Bonjour Gal,
Oui � coup s壜 c'est tr鋊 SF !

... justement on perd nos rep鋨es ...
COOL
RE-BRAVO Gal
Merci

Wow Gal, fantastic subject here, and well captured, I especially like the way you let the spiral take us right into the centre of the frame.

alainh (33209) 2005-10-14 10:55

Bonjour Gal
cette expo a la cote sur TE, et c'est tant mieux.
ces couleurs et ces formes sont folles et une invitation � la photo.
ta compo est superbe et la gestion de la lumiere, remarquable.
amicalement

bnallama (3763) 2005-10-15 15:36

A wow photo Gal.. Amazed by the neatness of the photo!!

jrzufferey (7305) 2005-10-16 15:37

Magnifique image, je me r嶴ouis de voir l'ensemble des photographies pour m'en mettre plein les yeux, une 彋range ambiance... Amiti�/jr

Rinie_Hoff (9340) 2005-10-16 15:55

Hi Gal, I'm glad you went, such an extraordinary light and structure. And wandering around, especially if there are not many people at the same time, must give a very strange feeling.
I remember there was something in Delft many years ago, at least before 1997, and it was called something with 'egg' in the title. I went there during lunchtime, and especially remember the colors red and yellow. I must have some pictures of it somewhere. I will try to look them up, and see if the feeling is more or less the same. Wonderful!

I hope you are well.

alejandroguzman (4684) 2005-10-18 4:11

another AMAZING picture from this place.
just perfect !!!

hugs
alejandro

gringofil (0) 2005-10-18 6:54

This is cool. The green color really makes this image pop plus the fact that you included the little kid in the frame as well (and he appears to look quite lost in all this weirdness). This must be one heck of an interesting place for photography. Good work, Gal.

jcandeli (40) 2005-10-25 15:32

This seems like a photographers paradise! I have seen a lot of photos from this place and almost all are good. This one is excellent. Beautiful colors and great composition and lighting. nothing to complain about here. JP

sohrab (7439) 2005-10-26 18:16

beautifully shot, gal.. i can actually imagine you sticking to the wall while shooting this..
and i think your sticking to the wall has actually made very good use of the arch which for me kind of makes my eyes go in loops till it reaches the child..
awesome colours
take care :)

greg64g (11193) 2005-11-08 6:49

Salut Gal

Il ya eu beaucoup de magnifique image de ce lumenarium et celle ci est a mon gout l'une des plus belle pour ces couleurs, la presence de ton fils est un plus.
Magnifique.
amicalement
greg

Didi (61589) 2005-12-13 11:33

Bravo Gal pour le prix � ce concours.
La composition lumineuse est tr鋊 appr嶰iable ainsi que la nettet� et bien s壜 le cadrage.
On dirait un petit Martien dans son vaisseau.
Image futuriste.

nickthegreek82 (1708) 2005-12-13 15:58

I don't know why , but the first thing that came in my mind when i saw your photo was the movie AI.
The shot is techically and aesthetically excellent!
Great Job

cherryripe (21033) 2005-12-14 9:06
Salut Gal
Hier j'ai d'abord le forum puis j'ai vu le revue sur la table du salon. Toni l'avait achet� hier par hasard. Donc f幨icitations. La photo est magnifique, surtout le gamin et le vert intense. Les n矌res avaient ador� le luminarium aussi. Il faut dire que le tirage n'彋ait pas aussi lumineux que sur TE.
Salutations Nikki

Hello Gal, 蓷 c'est vraiment tr鋊 fort, ces courbes am鋝ent des perspectives incroyables.

deugraf (56) 2006-05-19 8:24
Ohlalalaaaaaa, exceptionnel!!
Simplement une de mes favorites!

Le gosse a presque l'air inquiet et un peu perdu dans ce labyrinthe futuriste ;D

Anna-- (7801) 2006-06-04 17:24
Finally an exhibition in which children also have a good time!
Great shot, clear and excellent POV.
Compliments
Anna

ydarias (679) 2006-08-22 4:23
Hello Gal. Interesting photo. The composition is very uniform, and I like the children looking something? Is a very interesting subject, beacause the room without people is some boring. The red details in contrast with the green are very good too. Good work.

Yeray

umbrellaphotos (1901) 2007-08-15 9:17
Gal,
This is a great shot. The placement of the child is perfect and I love how he looks kind of lost as I'm sure many of us would feel the same way. Great colors and a fantastic composition!

Nicely captured,

Brian

smash2707 (3320) 2008-04-10 20:34
Great curves and amazing contrasting colors. Regards, Yvonne

schumanng (0) 2011-12-08 23:03
Hi Gal,
it's a very interesting image, as architecture photography but also for colours, shapes and point of view and composition. I like the children lost in a strange world.
Have a nice day,
Giorgio
